• Mr BIGG Does Deal With Northern Ireland Firm

Ian Woolley, the MD behind BIGG (Blinds in Glass Group) had long wanted to add entrance doors to his range. He has now introduced Apeer doors from the Ballymena manufacturer.

Woolley is convinced they will go down well with his installer customers because of the range of colours, thermal efficiencies quality and looks. The deal will see BIGG distributing the composite doors to window companies across England and Wales through BIGG’s Coventry based head office.

“The Apeer door range impressed me at every level,” says Woolley. “The company manufactures doors to the same values as BIGG – that of providing a quality service with a responsiveness that places the customer experience at the forefront. Working from this premise helps the supply chain to operate so much more efficiently. 

“For a competitive price, our customers will be able to sell a beautiful door that is superior in terms of U-values, range of colours, skin and hardware options. Add to this the fact that Apeer has significantly overdelivered in terms of marketing support, brochures and swatches, we believe we can establish a lucrative profit opportunity for our customer base.”

Apeer managing director, Asa McGillian adds: “BIGG is just the sort of business that we know both understands and appreciates the Apeer brand and sees the synchronicity with its own brand. Ian has built a good, solid business which values the customer experience and he recognises that the Apeer door range enables him to fulfil those expectations. With an established network of window companies, we are looking forward to growing sales across the UK.” 

Blinds in Glass Group

Ian Woolley established BIGG during the height of Covid in 2020. He has grown it into a solid £1.6m turnover business focusing primarily on integral blinds and composite doors.

“Our delivery vans are often the most prolific source of communicating what we can offer,” says Woolley. “As our drivers criss-cross the UK, our customers have a natural curiosity about what else we are delivering. The interest in Apeer doors is taking root. I believe that this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship with Asa and his team at Apeer.”
